Find the perfect college roommate
Finding a roommate when you're in college can be tough, especially when you're new on campus. Instead of wasting hours trying to find one, we'll help you find the perfect one so you can get back to "studying". We've helped thousands of students from across the nation not just find a roommate to live with, but make a new friend out of it, too. College is expensive, but we're sure you already know that. Having a roommate can significantly reduce your bills and utilities... not only that, they'll become a buddy to help make the campus life much more enjoyable. College life is fun, and so is having a roommate. Get started by creating your free roommate account, you won't regret it.

How It Works
Create your free profile
Tell us about your interests, your habits, what you're hoping for. Honesty is the best policy here.
Browse and filter.
Search by location, age range, budget, lifestyle, interests, and more. You decide who fits.
Message safely
Connect through our secure messaging; no need to share your phone or email.
Meet, talk, decide
When you're ready, always meet in person, in a public place, before making a decision.
ID verification is included free on every paid plan.
When you see the "ID Verified" badge on a profile, that person has confirmed their identity with us.
You control your information.
Phone, address, and full name stay private until you choose to share them.
Meet in person before committing
Bring a friend or family member along if it helps you feel more comfortable. Anyone who pressures you to skip that step, or asks for money before meeting, is not someone you want to live with.
Trust the basics.
Walk through the actual home. Ask about the lease, who's on it, and what's included in writing. Trust your instincts, and make sure it lines up with what was in the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ID verification work?
ID verification is free with any paid plan. You upload a government-issued ID through our secure verification partner, and once it's confirmed, an "ID Verified" badge appears on your profile. It's one of the simplest signals to look for when you're choosing who to message.
What if it doesn't work out?
That's why a written roommate agreement matters. Discuss notice periods, deposit return, and how you'll handle changes before moving in. Both parties should agree, in writing, on what happens if either of you needs to move out.
